Ankle socks are for the nononsense woman. You don't need toe socks that don't let you breath, or clingy long socks that just seem to suffocate you. Nope. These babies are perfect for you, so try on our choices for ankle socks and knock your old socks off.
Ankle Socks...on the Runway?
You bet your socks they are. Just ask Marc Jacobs and Marni. But for the fashion model in disguise, like the rest of us, you have to be daring to pull this off. You think you can handle it?
* Ankle socks could be worn in public, but try wearing them in the fall when everyone's layering and you could get away with it easier. In the summer or spring, they just wouldn't make sense, and you better be wearing more than just ankle socks in the winter. You could catch your death.
* Wear them with heels, especially with a peep-toe design for added funkiness, or with sandals, pumps and wedges.
* Although ankle socks and sassy shoes could be worn with almost any outfit, pair them with elegant, short dresses, skirts or with cropped pants and shorts.
* You can't just go with any color of socks, so put away those jellyprint ones. When it comes to the color, ditch the neutral tones and pair your socks with the base shade of your shoes to play it safe, and stylish.
** Ankle socks don't make the outfit, so don't distract from your amazing footwear and ensemble with a ridiculous print.
** Bright shades will always add an extra bit of pop! to your outfit, as long as they're in sync with the rest of the ensemble.
* Think about the effect these socks will have on the way your body looks. It's all about the talus. You know, the ankle bone?
** Leggy broads can afford to go with socks that extend over the bone in question, while petite cuties should stick with the shorter variety.
** And remember, ''everyone's'' legs look better in heels.
